How do I remove programs from the startup menue if they aren't in the startup folder in windows 2000? I remember in 98 you just typed went to start>run>msconfig

but how do you do it in 2000??

Eh, it could be a registry entry. Not fun.

If the pen is mightier than the sword, just imagine what I could do with a mouse.

Try StartUp Cop 1.01 from PCmag.com

the reg key is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

oops also

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
